Sir, – David McConnell castigates those who oppose abortion in all circumstances as not having respect for the opinions of many "good" people ("Repealing Eighth does not mean ignoring concerns about abortion", Opinion & Analysis, February 6th). It is a weak argument, to say the least. Which carries greater weight, the continuation of the life of the unborn, or showing respect for the opinions of many "good" people? – Yours, etc,
